Here is what you need to know to access discipline documents in public cases:

Documents are added to the State Bar Court’s online docket as events occur.


To search for a case, please copy the case number displayed above and click Search for a Case. In the search box, paste the complete case number. If the case number begins with “19” or higher, you must add the prefix SBC to the case number, e.g., SBC [CASE NUMBER]. If a case number begins with 18 or lower, there’s no need to add SBC.

Most public case records since 2000 are available through search. Older case records are available on request. The State Bar Court began posting public discipline documents online in 2005.
